Chaps or chinks

• Provide considerable protection for the legs while in the saddle.

Gloves

• Avoiding rope burns, nicks and scratches, and a variety of
  other problems can be accomplished by wearing protection on your
  hands.

Spurs

• Use of spurs is a personal preference, but keep in mind that they can cause significant problems if used incorrectly.

A Knife

• Though not really considered safety gear, a knife is recommended while working around stock.
